36xx or 72xx Old != bad . All you need is MEMORY = >= 256 Mb. ----- Original 36xx, 72xx Message ----- From: Erik Amundson To: Mark Bojara ; nanog@merit.edu Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 6:27 AM Subject: RE: minimum requirements for a full bgp feed Well, In my experience it depends on the model of router. I had a 3640 (granted, it's old) with 128MB that was just fine until a couple of months ago, now it's not enough. For one BGP table you will have to have at least 256MB in a 36xx router. Our 720xVXR routers currently have 256MB in them as well, but we've already ordered upgrades to 1GB with new NPE-G1s... - Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Mark Bojara [mailto:mark@aboutit.co.za] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 8:23 AM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: minimum requirements for a full bgp feed Hello All, If I wish to purchase a Cisco router that handles a full internet BGP feed what are the minimum specs I should be looking at?
